The power of the elixir released by the Fiery Flame Mantis, although it weakened the power of the heavenly thunder somewhat, the remaining power was still too strong. It directly blasted the Fiery Flame Mantis from the sky, fiercely smashing it onto the hard rocks below.

A moment later, the heavenly thunder disappeared, and the terrifying tribulation cloud in the sky also immediately evaporated, ceasing to exist.

Zhao Letian focused his gaze and saw the Fiery Flame Mantis lying on the rocks, covered in blood, its body full of terrifying wounds and charred marks from the thunder strike, appearing as fragile as a thread, close to death.

"There's only a less than ten percent chance, it is indeed too low, and this result is also within expectations."

Master Yu revealed a touch of regret in his eyes, calmly speaking.

But Zhao Letian couldn't remain as composed as him, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, eyes filled with a look of sorrow.

The Fiery Flame Mantis was the first Spiritual Beast he had tamed, and also a battle companion he was constantly with, having fought side by side with him numerous times, and had already developed a certain bond with him.

Now, watching helplessly as the Fiery Flame Mantis was about to leave him, he naturally felt an unpleasant taste in his heart.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

However, just then, thin strands of lightning suddenly appeared on the heavily wounded body of the Fiery Flame Mantis, resembling a net of thunder roaming around its body.

As these lightning bolts appeared, the weak breath of the Fiery Flame Mantis rapidly strengthened, and its wounds also healed quickly.

Even more miraculously, the original crimson skin of the Fiery Flame Mantis gradually turned into deep purple.

"Eh? It's not dead, could it be that even I can be mistaken?"

Master Yu, with a surprised look in his eyes, stared intently at the Fiery Flame Mantis, as if seeing something unbelievable.

"The color of its skin has changed, could it be undergoing another mutation?"

Zhao Letian's eyes revealed a delighted expression, seemingly realizing something, and said with anticipation.

"Mutation? Indeed, that's the only explanation. It underwent a second mutation while undergoing the third heavenly tribulation, which allowed it to survive by luck. It seems your luck is not bad."

Master Yu thoughtfully nodded his head.

"Its luck is good, what does that have to do with me?"

Zhao Letian smiled lightly, unconcerned, and spoke.

"No, if it wasn't recognized as your master, then whatever happens to it naturally has nothing to do with you, but since it has become your Spiritual Beast, then everything that happens to it is inevitably related to you. Or rather, its rare occurrence of a second mutation must have been influenced by your own fortune."

Master Yu shook his head, his expression serious as he spoke.

"Fortune? Master, do you also believe in such illusory things?"

Zhao Letian was slightly stunned, then smiled, unconcerned.

Fortune, he had heard about it long ago, but he always felt that such an indescribable, mystic thing was unreliable. At least, he would never place his hope on this so-called fortune. His path in martial arts still relied on hard work and diligent cultivation, taking one step at a time, solidly and unshakeably advancing to the pinnacle of martial arts.

"No, the notion of fortune is not unfounded. Your level is too low and your experience too shallow right now, but when you grow to a certain level in the future, you will understand that everything has a divine fate, and you, are someone born with great fortune. Not only you but even people and things around you can be influenced by your fortune, and the opportunities will certainly not be poor."

Master Yu shook his head again, very definitively said,

"Perhaps."

Letian Zhao did not want to argue, he just smiled noncommittally.

"Squeak!"

At that moment, the Fiery Flame Mantis lying on the ground suddenly emitted a loud chirping sound, then flapped its wings and flew into the air again.

"Three pairs of wings? It truly underwent a second mutation."

Letian Zhao focused his gaze, very pleased with a smile.

By now, the wounds on the Fiery Flame Mantis had almost completely healed, its crimson skin had all turned deep purple, and its appearance had become even more ferocious and terrifying, especially the pair of knife-like sharp forelimbs now sprouting sharp barbs, looking even more chilling.

Originally, the Fiery Flame Mantis had only two pairs of wings, but now it had an additional pair, making it three pairs.

Moreover, atop those wings, where previously burned crimson flames, now burned bizarre green flames.

Furthermore, apart from the flames, the wings of the Fiery Flame Mantis were also entwined with strands of purple electric arcs, never seen before.

Brought to you by the folks at *.

All of this indicated that the Fiery Flame Mantis had indeed undergone a second mutation.

Of course, most importantly, the Fiery Flame Mantis was currently emitting a cultivation level of the Sect Martial Realm, and not just Sect Martial First Realm, but the peak of Sect Martial Second Realm.

"You previously fed it a large amount of elixirs, although it brought upon it a fatal Heavenly Tribulation, it also gave it a rare opportunity. If it wasn't for the residual power of elixirs within its body, it probably wouldn't have successfully completed the second mutation, let alone use the power of Heavenly Tribulation to absorb all the residual elixir power and thereby breakthrough to the peak of Sect Martial Second Realm in one fell swoop. This can really be considered a blessing in disguise. However, you must be cautious in the future, you should not solely rely on the power of elixirs to forcibly enhance the cultivation of spiritual beasts. That would leave them with fatal hidden dangers. It's better to let them primarily focus on normal cultivation, with elixirs as a supplement."

Master Yu advised.

"Thank you for your guidance, junior will remember it."

Letian Zhao nodded, expressing his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, quickly put away your spiritual beast and leave this place as soon as possible. The commotion from the Heavenly Tribulation earlier was no small matter. Plus, with your spiritual beast undergoing a second mutation, its preciousness has increased manifold, which may attract covetous people. This Dark Demon Domain is a mix of all sorts of characters, even an old man like myself cannot be careless. If you want to survive here, you must be extra cautious."

Master Yu solemnly said.

"Alright, let's go to Four Directions Pavilion."

Letian Zhao nodded and said, with a wave of his hand, he directly put the Corpse Ape and the newly advanced Fiery Flame Mantis into the Spiritual Beast Bag.

"Four Directions Pavilion? Good, that place is fairly decent."

Master Yu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Then, the two of them leaped up and transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly disappearing into the distant sky.

Not long after they left, some people wearing strange costumes and radiating an eerie aura hurried to the location. However, other than some signs of battle, they found nothing and eventually had to disperse.
